Continue ReadingEvanston 2021 shooting guard Jaylin Gibson is one of the most versatile prospects in the state. The well rounded guard is an excellent passer and stuffs the stat sheet! He is primed to take over as the go to guy for Evanston this season. PrepHoopsIllinois caught up with Gibson to discuss his new role as a junior and how the team has looked heading into the season throughout open gyms.
“We are looking good. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I think if we stay focused we will surprise a lot of teams. I’m trying to be one of the leaders on the team. Push these guys and get us to a place where we trust each other. If we are going to do this it will have to be together.”
It has been a busy fall for Gibson on the recruiting trail.
“My recruitment has been going well. I’ve been to Belmont, Drake, Iowa, and going to Miami (OH) all unofficial visits. Also been in contact with Appalachian State, Green Bay, and Toledo.”
Gibson broke down each of the three unofficial visits he has taken this fall.
Belmont
“Belmont was a great campus really! It was pretty fun all the coaches were pretty cool. The weather was nice. I like the gym and the locker room. Met a few guys from the team and guys from the team were pretty cool too!”
Drake
“Drake was a great campus too! I was able to play with the guys down there and they were a good team. They were trying to get me better and telling me the right things to do when I was messing up. It’s like my style of play just run up and down. Just play basketball and do what you do best! The guys were great to hang around and the coaches were even better!”
Iowa
“It was ok. We toured the campus and the sports facility. Nice campus. Bigger school than the other schools visited.”
Currently Gibson holds offers from Drake, Chicago State, Detroit Mercy, and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He will visit Miami (OH) this upcoming weekend. The Evanston junior currently checks in at #10 overall in the 2021 PHI Rankings.
